She had her shop girl return money back to a Lawyer's wife who ordered a hat to be made, with a note saying the equivalent of " Do you know who I am? ". Rose did the same to a Dutchess who was previously an actress before marrying her Duke by refusing to meet her due to her backround! When she was forced by apologize by Antoinette, she did but then refused to get out of bed for a week! The drama!
